Background information:

There is charge data available for every call made through a telephone system, This data can be issued directly at the RS232 interface of the telephone system. Until now, it was necessary to have a PC running a data reception program constantly connected to the telephone system in order to receive such data, due to the fact that most telephony installation do not include a buffer with a sufficient capacity. The serial buffer for telephone systems records all call data until the information is retrieved from the PC. In the meantime, the PC can be switched off or used for other purposes. To bridge power failures, the buffer can be powered directly from the telephone system or via UPS, as its electricity consumption is very low. To retrieve the data from the buffer to the PC, we provide a specially designed compact tool, which generates text or Excel files. Alternatively, you can integrate the 3-byte query sequence directly into your charge accounting software.
